Saturn goes direct on November 15, 2024. To experience its effects, have you considered picking up a crystal or two?
Saturn has an interesting reputation for its intensity and association with karma. When Saturn takes Under the rule, we can expect great things to come true (or fall apart if we have taken shortcuts).
Thanks to Saturn going direct again, we’ll see those effects in full swing after what may have felt like a lifetime of retrograde Saturn action draining your energy.
Today we’ll explore what Saturn’s energy looks like in full force and look at some crystals that can help reap the sweet rewards.
What is Saturn Direct?

In other words, while Saturn retrograde was all about making sure all your internal boxes are checked off, now it’s time to see the immediate payoff.
